Hi there 👋, I'm Jose Cybersecurity Veteran | DevSecOps Architect | AI Tool Builder
Welcome to my GitHub! I've spent over 20 years defending enterprise fortresses and designing secure cloud infrastructure. I love bridging the gap between deep, old-school systems and modern, AI-driven DevSecOps. When I'm not hunting down vulnerabilities or automating infrastructure, I'm building security-focused applications and AI-integrated SaaS tools, learning new skills to expand my knowledge in the Artificial Intelligence age, or reading some interesting books.
🚀 My Current Quests SafeLink-AI: Building out my software development and security consulting firm with a strong focus on autonomous development workflows, AI-integrated SaaS applications, and endpoint security management services.
AI & Security Extensions: Building custom Chrome extensions focused on secure AI prompt management and developer productivity.
Game APIs: Crafting custom utility tools.
Home Labs & Cyber Ranges: Running a "Hybrid/Cloud" DevSecOps stack (Docker, GitHub) alongside dedicated Penetration Testing labs for Red, Blue, and Purple Team exercises.
Leveling Up: Wrapping up some certifications and starting my Master's in Cybersecurity and Compliance.
💻 The Tech Arsenal Languages: Python, Bash, Microsoft C++, COBOL, ASP, ASP.NET, JavaScript, HTML, CSS
Currently Learning: TypeScript, Go 🌱
AI & Automation: Hermes AI, OpenAI API, Prompt Engineering, Autonomous Workflows, Generative AI for Cybersecurity
Cloud & Containers: AWS, Azure, Docker, Cloudflare, Virtual Environments (Proxmox, VMWare)
Security & Defense: XDR (AI-Driven Analytics), SIEM (Splunk, Wazuh), Threat Hunting, Penetration Testing, WAFs
Frameworks & Compliance: MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOX, CIS Controls
🏆 Quick Highlights AI & Framework-Driven Defense: AI for Business, Certified in IBM Generative AI for Cybersecurity; actively leverage AI threat analytics, Zero Trust principles, and MITRE ATT&CK methodologies to hunt emerging threats.
Enterprise Defense: Reduced incident response times by 30% and achieved 99.9% endpoint protection across massive enterprise environments.
Vulnerability Crushing: Identified and patched hundreds of critical flaws while saving $250K+ annually by optimizing WAF and bot management tools.
Audit Survivor: 20+ years of navigating strict regulatory assessments and mapping controls to NIST and PCI standards with zero major findings.
Designing several ethical hacking applications using Python and Visual C++
